Several years since, when a certain mu-
scum was in full blast, the wonderful
Australian electrical boy was on exhibit
ton. The daily parade personified him
with fire flashing from all portions Of his
body. Truly an extraordinary phenome-
non, well worth a dime TO see.
The small boy Of the family urged me
to take him. which | did. After viewing
the various curiosities, l took my place
in the ''single 6len line toward the cleo
trical boy. Feeling confident that there
was an African in the wood pile, | deter
mined TO see II I did not know a trick
worth two Of that. Arriving in my turn
TO the shaking hands, position, I
stepped of Of the prepared mating TO the
dry flooring, which would destroy all
electrical connection. I then extended
my hand. He declined taking it, request
ing me to step In the regular path. re-
marked that the distance was the same,
but he still declined. I simply said ''ali
right, - and quietly retired. In starting
up TO the monkey room / heard him say
something sounding like ''up 10 snuff
but | saw at a glance that he kept his foot
upon a small metallic pipe leading from q
concealed battery. Whenever he grasped
aDother's hand the electrical connection
was made through their bodies TO the
moist or metallic mating, thence to some
contact with the earth, and each appli-
cant would receive the full strength Of
the battery, which the electrical boy also
would have 10 almost constantly ''grin

crowd kept pouring on him, considering
him wonderful, and no doubt thinking

FRUIT FROM THE TROPICS.


Strange Fdibies for Sale In the New
York Markets Coming Into Use.
Those who follow the good, old fash
toned custom and do their own marketing
see q good many fruits that are not grown
in this country. The banana, orange,
lemon and pineapple might almost be
termed naturalized, so common have they
become. But there are other fruits which
are SO very foreign that we have no Eng
lish names for them. There is the zap0-
ties, for example, which grows in Mexico,
South America and the West Indies. The
flavor of this fruit is sweet and pleasant.
No care is required TO bringi II to maturity.
IL is us wild as the acorn, though more
toothsome. Another foreign fruit is the
caimitOs, which grows on a tree as large
as our apple tree. This is served for des-
sert and has a mildly tart flavor. From
Peru comes the chirimoyas. Larger than
the apple is the manages, This has a
rough skin and pink interior, and is coarse
in flavor. In shape IL resembles some
what the pumpkin. Widely known is
guaya jelly, which is made from the guava
fruit, which grows wild, and is much like
the apple in iirmnesS, although resembling
in appearance the apricot. With most
northerners il Is an acquired taste, being
considered at first rather too sweet. OF
the Crane fruit class is the fruta bomba.
The outer covering OF this is quite bitter
and must be removed from the pulp,
which is most delicious.
BY the various names OF aguacates, ava
godO pear and alligator pear is known a
peculiar fruit, shaped like q large pear and
weighing sometimes as much as three
pounds. The shell Is smooth and tough.
In the center is q large pit about as hard
as O horse chestnut. A curious thing
about the pit Is the fact that il will make
a brownish mark, which is indelible. This
avagodo pear is also called subaltern's but
ter, for which it makes an excellent sub
stitute. IL is made into a salad in the
West Indies and Is a popular dish, being
much affected by the soldiers. The mango,
or West India peach, stands very high
among tropical fruits. IL has a smooth
skin and is of brilliant hues, green, gold
and crimson. There is at first a slight
suggestion of turpentine in its flavor, but
TO this one oon becomes accustomed and
all find IL a most delightful fruit.
OF course the orange and banana come
to us in the greatest perfection. They can
be picked green and win ripen on the voy.
age, which cannot be done with the pine
apple. Larger than the banana is the
plantain, which Il resembles. In southern
countries il is much used for cooking pur.
poses, being baked or fried like our apples,
and Is a staple article OF food. The casa.
va, or bread fruit, is no often imported.
From this is made cassova bread, the chief
food Of the poorer classes. The yucca and
the yam ARE roots Of the potato variety,
much esteemed by the negroes. In their
season many of these fruits may be pur.
chased in New York, and the demand ior
them is increasing.

Tricks Of Old River CAPTAINS.

"Therc was the slOop Emperor, capt,
Lockwood, running between Troy and
New York, (" said one OF the oldest captains
of the Hudson river. "She had the repu-
tation of being the biggest thief on the
river, and that" said the captain laugh
ingly, 'was saying a good deal in those
DAYS. One night, landing at Albany, the
CAPTAIN saw a barge laden with dead hogs,
and ordered that u line should he attached
TO the lcs Of one of them. This done, he
called out: Haul awayr and, OF course,
the hog came plump into the water and
was drawn on board. On another occasion
they were ut Esopus. The crew went ashore
and stole a cali, which they killed and
brought aboard. Shortly after the captain
saw the owner coming to search forit, and
he attached IL to an anchor and sunk IL.
The stolen goods being no longer on board,
he allowed the furmer TO search thoroughly,
sympathiZlng with him on his loss, and
finally the poor man went away, saying 1t
was a pleasure To meet such honest people.
Immediately upon his departure anchor
and calf were drawn up. The story went
the rounds, and Capt. Lockwood's honesty
passed into a proverb.
'The Van Rensselaer,, Capt. Harry Yer
planck, had a similar reputation. On one
of their trips down the river they had
been Boosting Of their exploits in this di-
r~ection, when the captain offered a wager
that he would steal the sentinel at West
Point"
"Was the bet takenr'
ayes" replied the captain, who saw
that his auditor was inclined 20 think that
the veracity Of the old river men was on q
par with their honesty; ''yes, and he did
il. When OF West Point he ordered his
gig To bc lowered and a barrel OF flour
placed in her. lie sculled for the shore
and was promptly challenged by the SEN
tinel. The captain told him he had a bar
rel of -four for one Of the officers OF the
garrison and wanted TO land il. The SOL
der consented and the captain proceeded
to make f~ruitless attempts 10 get il out OF
the boat, and at last succeeded in inducing
the sentinel TO help him. The soldier laid
down his musket and jumped into the
boat. The captain, wko was "A powerful
man, at once showed off his boat and
rowed for the sloop. lie had succeeded
in capturing his man, who WAS taken
aboard, and, fearing to return TO West
Point, became one OF the crew. The story
went from one end OF the river TO the
other and made the captain quite a hero"

The Custom Of Wearing Tall Hats.

The other night in one of the theatres q
lady with n tall hat that completely Oh
structei the view came TO a seat in front
of an elderly gentleman, who courteously
leaned over and addressed her escort: III
your lady does not remove her hat so that
| can see the stage ! shall have TO leave
the theatre" The other CURLY replied
that she would not, whereupon the COM
pllinant rose and went to the box Office
and demanded and received his money
back, the manager agreeing with him that
he could not enjoy the performance under
the circumstances. IL happened that the
next evening the trio met in society and
became acquainted, when the lady con-
fessed that she would have removed
the obstruction from her head if she
could have done so. Gould have
done soy' queried the gentleman.
''Yes," responded the lady. "You see
these tight fitting jackets and waists
prevent our raising u arms. In
dressing we put on the hat before the
jacket or waist, US we could never get
them on without the assistance OF a maid. "
The gentleman calamity observed that he
was sorry lac had spoken.
III the custom of wearing these tall hats
by the ladies attending the theatres is con-
tinued there will unquestionably be
trouble between the escorts and those who
are debarred the pleasure Of witnessing
the performance by the obstruction. A
row nearly occurred the other night in the
Bijou opera house because of a remark
made by the unlucky nan In the rear seat.
In this instance, however, the lady on
sidcrately told her escort that II he could
pull out the pin lac could remove the hat,
which was speedily done.-New York

Of the dredge boat as rapidly as it can pos
Sibly be accomplished. After finishing
and fitting, which has to be done on shore,
the sides have to be taken apart and car
ried aboard piece by piece. Capt. Temple
expects to be able to commence the erec
ton of the frame in it's place on the dredge
boat tomorrow, and to have the
boat ready for active operations before
the 1st prox.
In the meantime the Josephine is en-
gagged in hauling rock from the quarry to

the dredge boat is ready it will be taken
